[...] I’m a true believer in Facebook in what will surely be a very controversial IPO. On one side, there are investors such as myself, who believe Facebook has tremendous value, that it is just getting started, that the numbers that matter are not the number of users but rather revenues increase and influence on the web. I am part of the group that thinks buying Facebook at a valuation of $100B is a real bargain. [...]

@Long Term Returns – I don’t buy Google+ being 10% honestly… having tons of users is one thing but the critical part is user activite.. in any case, I think both can co-exist

As for staying, I agree, it’s risky, although many said Google would be the next Altavista, etc

And yes, the misstep point is a very valid one:)

Interesting take on Facebook becoming the de facto ID of the internet. I have no doubt that social networking is here to stay in all sorts of ways. I have major concerns about Facebook’s or any one other company’s staying power however. Google Plus is already up to 10% of Facebook size despite being less than a year old. Pinterest is, I think, the hottest social website out here, at least for those of us without Y chromosome. And never mind Friendster, MySpace.

While the best possible scenario for Facebook is certainly sky-high, reality tends to not follow the best possible scenario. On actual fundamentals Facebook is very loftily priced, so any misstep from that best possible path will lead to major losses for those who buy in at $100+B valuation.

@awake – You are right, I would not buy it in the first few days and would likely wait a few weeks at a minimum

that being said, I would buy FB as a long term buy, not as a long/short trade as I usually write about here
